DartConnect scorekeeping. Play a scrimmage match with your team before
the season starts. The practice league button will be available
through the first couple weeks of the season only.

General Guidelines
for Using DartConnect for MMDL Matches
CHECK YOUR ROSTER ON DARTCONNECT
BEFORE GOING TO YOUR MATCH!
You can add any missing teams/players directly into the app:
CLICK HERE TO LEARN HOW
If any issues with your roster (missing or wrong players
listed) contact: annam@mmdl.org
Please note the following:
Teams are STILL REQUIRED
to email the standard match report for each home match.
We recommend at least a 10 inch tablet for DartConnect, but the
minimum tablet size is 7 inches. Use
DCTV for more scoreboard displays
around the room.
You should be comfortable with scoring matches with
DartConnect BEFORE using it for a league match. Have you practiced
with your team using the practice league feature?
If for any reason you can not use the DartConnect app for
scoring, continue your match with manual scorekeeping.
Be patient with teams and players that are new to
DartConnect scorekeeping and help coach others with how to use the app
properly.
Troubleshooting Guide:
For any technical assistance (creating an account,
installing app to your tablet), send an email to
mmdl.bod@gmail.com
How do I open a DartConnect Guest Account?Start Here
I registered a guest account and downloaded the app, but
I don't see the MMDL button on the league page? The correct email
was probably not provided on your MMDL roster, you can check this with Anna
Morretti at annam@mmdl.org
When I download the app, all I see is a big white box? Tap anywhere on the white box to dismiss
this message and go to the log in screen.
The app won't work on my Kindle? DartConnect
works on Kindle with the Silk browser but they must be the Fire HD model.
What tablets do work for DartConnect? DartConnect
is compatible with all Apple (iPad2 and newer), Android (using Chrome or
Firefox browsers) and Windows devices (using Chrome or Firefox browsers),
including tablets, phones and PCs. For a list of recommended

Additional Help &
Tips:
Picking the number of legs for each set
Click image to enlarge
MMDL MATCHES ARE 12 SETS
Selecting # of legs must be done at the start of each new set
Select "1 Leg" for Sets that are Best of 1
(501 and Cricket for A-E Divisions)
Select "3 Legs" for Sets that are Best of 3
(301 for A-E Divisions and All Sets for Super A)
This is important for the final match score to be
correct by awarding 1 point per set.
Ending & Saving the Match

If your match ends prematurely (such as
if you picked the wrong # of legs by mistake)...To continue playing the match, click "Options" in the red
control bar before autosave finishes and then "Reset Match Settings"

Playoffs
If you are using DartConnect for the playoffs, please note the
following:
You will see a new Post Season button in the app to access playoff team
rosters. Do not use the regular season button.
At the start of each playoff round, make sure you
do a "Check for Updates" on the league page to make sure you have
the most up to date playoff rosters loaded.
For playoffs, in the race to 13, play each match as if it were a regular
season match, see below for how to end and save the match early .
When you open up "Select Players" you will now have access to ALL
playoff teams that you may face. Tap the home team on left and away team on
right as usual. Make sure you have connected to wifi and checked for updates
to update the team list.
IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR OPPONENT LISTED -
tap the gray button "Manage League Rosters", find the team you
are playing, tap their name to highlight them red and then press "Continue"
at the bottom of the screen.
Check Roster info and add any missing players if necessary
If there are missing emails for the other team, ask their players, or at
least the captain, if they wish to add them to receive match recaps
Ending at 13 Points: When a team reaches 13 total points in the
second playoff match, manually end the match by tapping "Options" and the
red button labeled "End & Save Match".
If Overtime is necessary:...
Save the match as usual and start a new match (make sure you put the teams
on the correct left/right side as previous match).
Continue playing the OT. To manually
end match when finished, click the "Options" menu and the red button "End &
Save Match". DartConnect will merge the separate matches into a single
match report.
